Noah first entered a gym when he was 13. He still remembers the day like it was yesterday. It was Bob Landers Gym, South Hurstville. That gym is long gone but the passion for lifting weights and fitness that came from those early days never left him. Noah’s life took him in various directions, especially to education where he has spent over 25 years transforming lives through learning. That entire time he has remained on a fitness journey that has included amateur bodybuilding, boxing, martial arts, CrossFit and now various fitness competitions such as Hyrox and the Turf Games.

In recent years, Noah has taken his journey in fitness more seriously, retraining as a PT and coach, and deciding to open a gym of his own which is what brought Noah and 98 together. The relationship between them has gone from strength to strength based on shared values and a commitment to improving people’s lives by delivering the highest quality, science-based, strength and conditioning programs. 98 Neutral Bay is the culmination of a long journey and a dream that started in a suburban gym over 40 years ago.

Noah is passionate about training the older athlete. As someone in his 50s, he realises the importance of strength and conditioning training for quality of life and longevity only increases as a person gets older. Noah’s goal is to work with people of all age groups but specifically with people in their 50s and older to achieve their fitness and life goals.

Now in his 50s, Noah focuses on helping older athletes build strength, longevity, and confidence — proving it’s never too late to raise the standard.

Originally from Dublin, Ireland, Alasdair’s love of sport and exercise began at the age of six with rugby. While completing a BSc in Sports Science & Health, he became increasingly drawn to the strength and conditioning side of sport, leading him to cease playing and begin coaching CrossFit alongside his studies.

He later moved to the UK to complete a Master’s in Sport & Exercise Nutrition at Loughborough University, before returning to Ireland during the pandemic. There, he became Performance Nutritionist for the Dublin Senior Ladies Football Team (Ireland’s equivalent of the AFLW).

Although nutrition is his bread and butter, Alasdair missed the day-to-day, face-to-face interaction of coaching, so he returned to CrossFit coaching alongside his nutrition work. After two seasons with the Dublin Ladies team and countless hours of coaching, he relocated to Sydney in 2023.

Since then, he has focused on coaching full-time while enjoying the health and fitness lifestyle synonymous with the city.
